Not a big thing, but I coated my side mirrors with undercoating. Looks better than it did, I just hope it holds up. Anyone used that for their mirrors? Also I've been looking through this very long thread and now I have more ideas. Anyone ever paint their jeep flat black? I don't mean undercoat or truck bed, but just plain ole flat black. I'd love to see pics. Thanks

Plastidipping is the new rave. You can spray your Jeep flat black today and a couple months down the road peal it off and spray it yellow.

i wanna take one of those black (Photo buckets) cut holes in it to mount it to the roll bars in the back. I will use it to hold my straps all nice and rolled up and out of the way. I keep the rain cover under the seat with a pair of jumper cables.

Cool thanks. I originally bought the para cord to make myself a replacement watchband but the smallest package they had was 50 feet of the stuff. So now i have been using it to repair zipper pulls and such on the jeep. And will probably make some OS handles when I have some spare time this weekend. Might even wrap that grab bar on the passenger side too.

Tons of ppl gut the rear seat and build the sub box into the actual seat portion...which imo just makes an uncomfortable seat more uncomfortable...so i decided to gut the backrest instead. dont have any pics of the work in progress but i basically took off the cover, trimmed a good 3 inches of foam off the padding up until i hit the inner support wires of the padding itself, cut the inner bracing of the back rest out...it was like 5 or so steel rods running vertically. i then measured the inside of the area i had to work with, picked out a 12 inch sub that needed as little space as possible 1 cubic foot, and built a rectangular box that fit inside the frame. i anchored it down using using pieces of an old belt off some cargo pants screwed into the box around the frame tubing. stretching the cover over the box was a bit tricky as it is now a solid 2 inches thicker so i had to add some grommets around the stock zipper and lace the seat back with some paracord. at 500 watts that seat packs some serious thump. and feels like a back massage if ever sitting back there lol.

I love what you did but be careful with that sub. Its not very good so if you blast it a lot it won't last a year. I have 12" kicker comp vr's that only require 1 cubic foot

I like the cargo pants belt anchoring. Very inventive!

I am thinking of doing something like this as well, but probably with a couple 8's as they don't need as much air space. Just wish I still had my old Orien 12's... Those things thumped pretty hard!

With the rear seat sub deal I always figured it was an attempt at stealth/security as well as saving space. I'm planning to eventually build my own box. I'm considering getting some 1-1.5" metal blocks and new bolts and raising the seat brackets up a bit to reduce the amount of foam that needs removing. When I do I'm gonna look for a used 98-02 seat to hack up, mostly because the seats were made bigger than the 03-06.

I recently put on a lift so I've been saving some cash and doing cheap mods lately. First I bought a set of nice quality digital camo seat covers from cabela's for only 20 bucks each. Then I went to Joann's fabric store and bought some sheets of heavy duty digital camo contact paper and camo covered my glove compartment, center console and interior door handles. For My third (and best) cheap mod I took an aluminum arrow, removed the tip, and slid it over my antenna, fletching side up. Never really seen these two mods done before. Wish I knew how to post pics tho
